Ok. I believe we now understand eachother. And I believe we are still at the impasse of "what should happen" vs "what is happening" being different on my machine.

I understand that whatever calibre does with respect to authorsort fields, it does once. And that after I manually enter a change (as i have done for every single record in my database), it should behave a certain way. It isn't. I don't have an explanation for why. And I understand your poitns about how the tweak is basically just a setting for what calibre defaults to that one time that it puts something into the authorsort field (upon adding a file to the database). That tweak has no real relevance for me because I don't nmind manually entering what I want, and have already done so. Adding the tweak now won't have any affect whatsoever on what is or is not currently working in the records which are already in my database.

What steps should I take in order to achieve a hopefully clean and uncorrupted installation of calibre? The fact that I just upgraded to the latest version probably is immaterial at this point, as the problems I was having before that upgrade I am still having now.
